Elk Moon is a single yurt perched in a open clearing above the forest. Overlooking Mt Hood, Mt St Helens, Mt Adams and on the clearest days-Mt Jefferson. It’s a lovely open space where we’ve been joined by deer, elk, bald eagles, osprey and more. There’s an intimate relationship with the clouds here-sometimes wrapped in them, sometimes sitting on top of them-but everyday is dramatic and stunningly beautiful. Learn more about this land: Relax and rejuvenate your senses in a comfy, cozy and spacious 20 foot off-grid yurt. Wake up to the sunrise out your window and the site of Mount Hood and three other mountains on a clear day. Fall asleep to the site of the rising moon and the stars, enjoy the sounds of wildlife mixed with interesting sounds from the farm. Even the clouds feel dynamic and special here. This space has everything you need to enjoy time away from the city. Elk Moon has a secluded feel in a meadow at the top of a mountain surrounded by forest, but w/ neighbors not terribly far away. Enjoy coffee and meals inside on a basic two-burner camp stove or drive a short distance to town. A charming and clean composting toilet is located a few yards from the yurt. It is always cleaned in between campers. With hiking right outside your doorsteps and fantastic mountain views, Elk Moon is ideal for nature lovers.

Elk Moon

We stayed here for a couple of days with our two little boys. They loved seeing the stars and staying in a "real roundhouse". This out of the way site is warm, welcoming, and fun. The boys found all sorts of mushrooms and learned about local flora and fauna. Mama of our crew traveled into Tigard for work (traveling veterinarian) and found the commute beautiful and mostly traffic free.

It’s a beautiful, clean Yurt with amazing views! The basics were supplied, and clear instructions were provided on the Yurt and outhouse things. It was easy to find. Janna provided recommendations for things to do around the area as well!

Fun experience

Really fun getaway. The yurt was very quiet, remote and stayed really warm with the wood stove. The views were absolutely spectacular. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it.

We had a great stay at the yurt! It was beautifully decorated, and the surroundings were very peaceful. Perfect cozy winter gateway! We had a lot of fun trying to solve the puzzle.

Beautiful yurt on a secluded foothill with beautiful fall colors! The wood stove kept the yurt very warm on the chilly fall nights.
